<div dir="ltr">Hello PWscf users,<br>I have a question about the band structure.<br>1. I have plotted the band structure of ScSb. There i found that in that post script file it draw the band very near the fermi level (-12.0:3.0) only. But if I want the bands range say -20:20, what and where I have to change?<br>
<br>2. I have given the K-points as used in Si calculation in examples, in my ScSb file. It works well. But I am also using SIESTA, where we mention the k-points as below<br><br> BandLinesScale pi/a<br> %block BandLines # These are comments<br>
1 0.000 0.000 0.000 \Gamma # Begin at Gamma<br> 25 2.000 0.000 0.000 X # 25 points from Gamma to X<br> 10 2.000 1.000 0.000 W # 10 points from X to W<br> 15 1.000 1.000 1.000 L # 15 points from W to L<br>
20 0.000 0.000 0.000 \Gamma # 20 points from L to Gamma<br> 25 1.500 1.500 1.500 K # 25 points from Gamma to K<br> %endblock BandLines<br clear="all"><br>the first column after<b> %block BandLines</b> shows the number of points between the given k-points (like 25 points between Gamma and X). In this way we dont have to mention all the k-points and we get a smooth graph. But in pwscf I have to mention all the k-points in order to get a smooth graph as in the example of Si. <br>
So my question is, is there any way so that we have to mention only the points at the zone boundary, and rest of the points it will take automatically?<br><br>-- <br>Bipul Rakshit<br>PhD Student, <br>Barkatullah University,<br>
